NBA: Donte DiVincenzo (Timberwolves) OVER 15.5 PRA (pts, rebs, asts)
Good morning, #PropNation!! The NBA Conference Finals are here and MLB is fully data packed. It’s time to dominate. As we look to Game 1 in OKC I really like Donte DiVincnezo in a buy-low spot. He had a really bad first two series against the Lakers and Warriors in terms of production, but I think his athleticism is going to be key in this series to help defend the Thunder’s versatility. DiVincenzo averaged 18 PRA on the season and his line tonight is at just O/U 15.5. He started knocking down some threes to close out the last series and I believe he will get more aggressive tonight after a 2025 playoff-high 13 point performance in Game 5. In one game against the Thunder this season he put up 19 PRA and he should be flying all over the court tonight. Look for him to get out in transition and be a spark off the bench tonight. Lock in Donte DiVincenzo OVER 15.5 PRA!
NBA: Chet Holmgren (Thunder) OVER 8.5 Rebounds
The next value spot I like is Chet Holmgren’s rebounding total for OKC. Holmgren averaged just 8 rebounds per game on the season but he absolutely stepped it up in the 7-game series against Denver, averaging 10.9 RPG and posting totals of 11, 11, 11, 13, and 16. Holmgren is going to be playing power forward as Hartenstein works against Gobert. This will leave a nice rebounding advantage with his length against Julius Randle and others. Holmgren had a similar advantage last series as Hartenstein took on Jokic. You’ll see Holmgren guard Gobert at times tonight too, but he’s been racking up stats in the paint lately. I really like what I’m seeing out of Chet this postseason, coming into his own. This should continue on the boards tonight as OKC will force a lot of misses from the Timberwolves offense. Take Chet Holmgren OVER 8.5 Rebounds!
MLB: Kyle Hendricks (Angels) OVER 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed
For the third and final free prop I’m going to back to Major League Baseball where I see the Athletics taking care of business tonight. Similar to Sonny Gray and the Cardinals functionality last night, we see the Athletics now being heavy favorites (-165) despite losing last night and having a similar record as the Angels. They are facing Kyle Hendricks who has just gotten shelled this season, sporting a 1-5 record with a 5.18 ERA. The A’s offense is young and electric. They should not be held in check tonight and will be aggressive against Hendricks, who doesn’t strike out a lot of hitters to begin with. If he’s dancing around the zone things could get ugly early tonight. While I like a lot of Athletics hitters props tonight (look towards Wilson, Butler, Rooker, and Langeliers), fading Hendricks overall is the top call out here. Take Kyle Hendricks OVER 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed and let’s cash these tickets!
